nvme drives
by Jude DaShiell 03 Oct '22

03 Oct '22

I have these on my new computer. I can partition the nvme scsi drive with parted but parted can't handle the other drive on the machine. Has archlinux got a separate tool to take control of nvme drives the way parted does?

It turns out archinstall works on highlighting the cursor so for espeak users who turn on highlighting inside of archinstall, their use of the keyboard puts them in the places they need to be to use archinstall. Highlighting isn't often needed but when it is needed it does work. Jude <jdashiel at panix dot com> "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

gave up on archinstall
by Jude DaShiell 03 Oct '22

03 Oct '22

I use a screen reader and found archinstall locks the cursor on the top line of text on the display and scrolls the text on the screen whenever an action gets taken except for abort when it helpfully clears out of the way. I couldn't choose an audio server as a result even though choices got shown of pulseaudio and pipewire the cursor never made it into the options. All of this happened with latest release of archlinux. I think the network configuration was the only other one missing and I'm on ethernet so using dhcp usually allbeit managed by a network manager of some form.

Enforced egrep warning by an if/then check
by Ralf Mardorf 02 Oct '22

02 Oct '22

Hi, I'm uncertain, if it makes sense to file a bug report against the xfce4-dev-tools or not. Actually upstream has got a reason to do this ;), but on Arch Linux it results in unwanted and annoying warnings :(. $ grep egrep /usr/bin/xdt-autogen -A3 if type egrep >/dev/null 2>&1; then EGREP=egrep else EGREP="grep -E" fi One time I reported an egrep related warning issue against the rtirq community package and upstream, but I didn't report it against e.g. AUR's ventoy-bin. However, the above if/then issue is something very special, since a workaround does cause the warnings in this particular case. The grep package does also provide a workaround. IOW two workarounds collide with each other :D. Regards, Ralf

Boot messages font issue
by u34＠net9.ga 26 Sep '22

26 Sep '22

There is a large, about 2M in size, screen shot at https://img.net9.ga/d9eYOM6/xbV+yBu/BootFontsIssue.jpg . Each text line is duplicated in a shifted manner because the picture was taken by a camera. The dupliacation of the lines is not the problem. It does not occour in reality. The problem are the rectangles enclosed in the red ellipse at the bottom of the picture. Have you encountred such a font issue? Any comments? This message is a partial duplication of the no replies Possibly only with UEFI or LVM, rectangles instead of letters at boot post at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=279827 . -- u34

Simple Scan asking for root password
by Frank 21 Sep '22

21 Sep '22

Good morning, I have set up a new machine with Gnome Shell and a network printer/scanner. When executing simple-scan it searches for scanner and then asks me to enter my password to gain admoin rights. I never encountered this behavior before and wonder if there's a way to stop it asking for the pw? THX Frank

Mailing list quirks
by Ralf Mardorf 20 Sep '22

20 Sep '22

Dear mailing list admin, while I still received emails from the mailing list, I couldn't log in. After (re-)subscribing I can log in again. Please add "[arch-general] " to the subject. Some mailing lists don't use such an identifier in the subject, but a lot of mailing lists for good reasons do. It's apparently possible to prepend the list name and to keep the DKIM signature intact or they break it, but it doesn't matter. I don't know. Why is this identifier useful? For example, if you have got a virtual search folder with a filter, that searches the email bodies for "x11" in folders for different mailing lists, it can be very helpful, if the subject lines mention "[arch- general] ", "[Alsa-user] ", "[Evolution] ", "[lubuntu-users] " etc. to get a first overview. For several reasons such an identifier can be useful. For each of those reasons somebody probably has got an objection, how to do things different, so that the identifier is unneeded. Yes, it's not needed, but it's useful/helpful for some people, in some cases, while there's unlikely a good reason to be annoyed by "[arch-general] ". Regards, Ralf

Re: [arch-announce] Arch Linux mailing list changes

Mail List Admins: Following up to my prev post (arch-general) about DMARC rejections from arch-general from domain zoho.com ( I checked it too has 'p=reject') My own messages to the list are also being rejected by our border mailer with same dmarc rejection - so indeed, I suspect something is not quite right with the list configs. Can you all please check that incoming mail to lists from domains with 'p=reject' DMARC policy work ok. Seems not to be working from what I see. thanks.
